To the Hix family,

this is ed lowe and i just want to say how sick and sorry i am for your loss. i literally just found out today at 2:30pm while traveling back from Abilene. i soooooo would have attended the funeral but just discovered it was today at 10. terry, you and your dad have been very faithful, kind, and simply the best over the years at fixing everything that breaks and i will surely miss seeing your dad. one consolation, knowing Jesus, his job of repairing isn't needed anymore and thinking about his new life, in heaven, with Jesus, and loved ones....thats heaven. again, very sorry to hear this...ed lowe...burleson.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Deriel was a very special friend to us as all of you are. We will miss his stories and humor but most of all we will miss his friendship and love.

Deriel
God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.

Steve & Dana Harris

What a great spirit Deriel was and never in all the years I knew him did I not see a smile on his face. He was also a great story teller that added lots of humor to the conversation.

I know you boys will have a void in your hearts but know he is not suffering any longer and is again with your mom both watching over all you.

Much Love,
Michael and Janna Herrera
